HAUTE PARTNERS : EDEN ROC RENAISSANCE MIAMI BEACH

In 2010, Eden Roc teamed up with hospitality impresario Seth Greenberg to oversee Executive Chef Paula DaSilva at the 1500° restaurant.  Named “Best Celebrity Chef” by the Broward/Palm Beach New Times, DaSilva employs the “farm-to-table” conception by sustaining close relationships with the local Paradise Farms and Palmetto Creek Farms. The emphasis on  fresh ingredients is distinguishable by the luscious and colorful dishes she prepares. The eatery received its name, 1500°, from the temperature at which the selection of steaks – the 6-ounce Wagyu flat iron, the 8-ounce skirt cut and the 34-ounce prime porterhouse center cut – are perfectly charred and broiled. The rustic restaurant’s menu changes seasonally. It also includes a raw bar, small plates and ten signature side dishes as well as main dishes. Interior seating allows for 160 people with an additional poolside patio for up to forty.

“Our goal is to appeal to visitors and locals alike,” DaSilva said.
